Solo travel – finding the real you!

It’s all the rage and the biggest trend in travel for 2024 – it’s “Solo Travel” and everyone is doing it! Why? Well in this month of romance, some may just be getting tired of wanting to travel but feeling like they can’t do so without a partner because it wouldn’t be safe or any fun.

Well, thanks to great group tours and specific packages arranged to give solo travellers whatever their heart desires, in a safe environment, and the chance to meet others, many are now happy to venture out on their own.


Not just for singles

It’s not just about singles meeting others either. So many peoples’ travel aspirations differ from their partners but have not felt comfortable going it alone. Now however, they can, safely and in the company of like-minded travellers who enjoy the same experiences.

So, what are you waiting for? Take separate vacations this year and do what you really want to do – after all solo travel is all about finding the real you!

Something for everyone

Whether you want to have a fun group experience or visit a remote spot where your guides are discreet and give you your space, there’s a solo travel package or tour just waiting for you.

Explore ancient ruins, take in the breathtaking scenery, meditate in the bush, lounge on a beach on a tropical island or shop ‘till you drop in magical markets or high-class malls – there’s something for everyone and you can do it by yourself, or in the company of others – you can choose.
